I have an '11 Rubi with a Teraflex Leveling Kit, except that I opted to only go 1.5" in the front rather than the ususal 2". I am thinking about replacing my stock Rubi shocks with new ones that are 1" longer when extended. Since my JK is a 2011, it has the new style front brake lines/brackets. Can I install these 1" longer shocks without issue, or would I need to extend the brake lines and/or remove the bracket?

 

Fronts are fine, with a little work to the stock brake line brackets you can use them even with a 6" kit. With the rears, TeraFlex uses drop brackets for the 2.5" and 3" kits.

 

I installed the TerraFlex 2.5 BB on mine. I did not have to replace the brake lines, but the kit included a bracket to drop the line an inch or so. When I was installing the lift, the suspension flexed way beyond the length of the stock shocks, and the brake lines worried me a bit. I think that anything more than 2.5 would require the brake lines to either be extended or modified in some other way, like a moderate bend up line. I'm new to this so don't take my word as gospel, only my two cents. Hope it's helpful.

 

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply. The rear shocks are also almost an inch longer when extended. So would they be ok as well? I didn't really even think about the rear brake lines. But if I understand your post correctly, the rear's wouldn't be an issue until 2.5".
